HISTOPATOLOGI

SPITZ NEVI MELANOMA NODULAR

Two cylinders from typical Spitz nevi (H&E; original A large, well-circumscribed proliferation of atypical
magnification: × 100 (a, b) and × 400 (c, d)).Epithelioid or melanocytes is seen growing throughout the dermis. The
spindle melanocytes with no significant cytological atypia dermal melanocytes are enlarged with prominent, often very
eosinophilic nucleoli, but with no tendency for maturation with
progressive descent.

The dermal component of a nodular melanoma is characterized


by markedly atypical, usually epithelioid melano- cytes with
lack of maturation and often a brisk mitotic activity.

The starburst pattern of pigmented Spitz (Reed) naevi. The pattern consists of a Typical nodular pigmented melanoma. A, This asymmetrical pigmented nodule has
hyperpigmented centre and symmetrically distributed peripheral pseudopods (a, b) the significant positive predictors of blue-white veil, multiple (5-6) colors (scored
or streaks (c) or a combination of pseudopods and streaks (d) from tan, dark brown, red, blue, gray, and black), irregular blotches, irregular
brown dots and globules, and black color (Breslow thickness, 4.5 mm). B, This
asymmetrical pigmented nodule has a blue-white veil, irregular blotches, and
irregular dots and globules, some of which are black, that are found both in a
central and peripheral position (Breslow thickness, 5.0 mm). C, This asymmetrical
pigmented nodule has a blue-white veil, multiple brown dots (white arrows), 5 or 6
colors, peripheral black dots and globules, milky red and pink areas, and irregular
blotches (Breslow thickness, 6.7 mm). D, This asymmetrical pigmented nodule has
peripheral black dots and globules, irregular dots and globules (size and
distribution), pseudopods (arrow), and black color (Breslow thickness, 1.2 mm).

Symmetrical pigmented nodular melanoma.


Although most nodular pigmented melanoma
lesions have asymmetrical pigmented patterns,
5.8% have symmetrical pigmentation, as seen
here. The Breslow thicknesses are A, 1.7 mm; B,
1.0 mm; C, 0.9 mm; and D, 4.3 mm.

Amelanotic/hypomelanotic nodular melanoma (NM). A, This


hypomelanotic nodule has atypical vasculature shown as combinations of
dotted (thick arrow), linear irregular (thin black arrows), and hairpin
vessels (white arrows) (Breslow thickness, 2.2 mm). B, This lesion has a
central white patch mimicking a dermatofibroma. A total of 12.9% of
amelanotic/hypomelanotic NMs were reported to have central white
patches. In this case the ulceration led to a suspicion of malignancy
(Breslow thickness, 2.2 mm). C, This small-diameter hypomelanotic (light-
colored) nodule has asymmetrical pigmentation with areas of blue-white
veil (Breslow thickness, 0.94 mm). D, This hypomelanotic lesion has fine,
predominantly linear irregular vessels at the periphery of the nodule
(Breslow thickness,
1.87 mm). E, This amelanotic nodule has diffuse hairpin vessels throughout
the lesion in a symmetrical pattern (Breslow thickness, 2.0 mm).
